[Allan Siegel]

/The Calvert Journal Film Festival: 7 days of New East cinema online/ is 
a journey across Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central 
Asia through the lens of the region’s independent filmmakers.

The festival will feature 7 films, screened online for free at 
calvertjournal.com from 12 to 18 October; each day a different film will 
be available for 24h.

Showcasing fiction and non-fiction features, including online premieres, 
with subjects ranging from environmental disaster and single motherhood 
to millennial struggles and generational disconnect, the festival’s 
programme goes beyond the mainstream billboard, creating a platform 
celebrating the diversity of cinematic perspectives of the region, from 
Slovenia to Kazakhstan.
